question: how to ignore extral CR when diff dos format files with 'color=auto'

hi,

git-diff prints "^M" at each end of line for dos format files when
'color=auto'.

it's annoying!

I want to know if I can configure git to make git-diff ignore '^M', and I
don't want to change file format to unix.

thank you.

git v1.6.0 still didn't work, neither v1.5.6.4. (however,v1.5.5 works on
mingwin)

I checked the source code of v1.6.0, and I found emit_line didn't check
whether there is a cr at eol.

I have fixed it.
